The Digital Signature Paradox

Published by ProofSpace on Jul 31, 2007

The system clock is the immediate source of time for any computer, and is the sole source for a time stamp determining when a document was created, modified and printed; or more interestingly when a digital signature was generated. Fraud has already been perpetrated by turning back system clocks, leading to the falsification of information for which individuals have been disbarred or incarcerated. The application of a digital signature would not have resolved these issues; that is because digital signatures are time-insensitive. However, an independent clock source providing a trusted time stamp would and can circumvent individuals taking such illegal liberties.

This paper posits that data integrity needs to be redefined within the context of a time-sensitive mechanism.
